Looks like the $15 off PayPal discount is no longer available. Nice deal, I was really tempted at the $200 price level.

this thing is great for beginners. But the multi color is useless unless you want to waste so much filament. I have used multicolor once. after that I never use it. the printer has been flawless and very easy to use

I got the 5m almost a year ago Oct 2025 and been waiting on the multicolor print option. creator is still too high to justify for hobby printing so I just pulled the trigger and ordered it. 228 with tax. Excited to try multicolor prints. Thanks!

Common issue on Ali. Try adding your address and phone # again. and verifying your "ship to" town/city.
Same. I love in NC and had to use a different browser to get it to ship. Showed up in a few days.

I bought this, and got PLA. Any suggestions on where a beginner can get ideas on stuff to print or best uses for this printer. The tray seems small. No idea where to start.
Printables and maker world. Just check out the most popular downloads and trending lists. You can almost print anything. Most recently I printed some styled command strip hangers for posters, and closetmaid clips to repair our closet organizer.

I want to buy something I can use to as adult. I think I could spend around 500 or less. Any recommendation?
If you are pretty "techie" and enjoy fiddling around with settings and configurations, then one of the Flashforge printers would be a good way to start. If you would rather it be quick/easy/reliable and not have to spend a bunch of time troubleshooting, one of the Bambu printers would be the way to go.

For a beginner you can use their flashstudio app browse through the designs and just print, as easy as printing a page through a regular printer

They lowered the price to $233, so the $40 off coupon no longer qualifies. The next coupon is for $20 off for purchases over $119 - bringing the price down to $213 before tax

The print is likely warping off the bed which PETG can do. That means the print head catches the top of the model as it moves. Check your bed temps and/or use a brim.
I noticed this happen with a print and when I restarted after lightly swiping the bed surface with the included glue stick, it didn't happen anymore
